Writer Submissions

What are we looking for? If you want to write about pop-culture, news, sexuality, queer culture, gender, (mental) health, race, body politics, and more through an intersectional lens, then you’re at the right place! We are looking for nuanced and incisive critiques. Essays, listicles, Q&As and reported pieces are welcome and we accept pieces from new writers as much as we do seasoned writers.

Maintaining a safe space for marginalized people: Before pitching and while writing any drafts, be aware of ableist language, here is a useful resource for everyone, especially writers and editors. If your piece or pitch includes descriptions of violence and trauma, please include a trigger warning for our editors.

How to pitch: We only accept pitches, not complete drafts. If you are new to pitching, please answer the basics:

What is your piece about?

Why is it important?

Who is it for?

Why should YOU write it?

Approximate deadline

Be sure to check out our site to make sure we haven’t already published a similar piece. If it is time-sensitive, please state it in the subject line. Please include your pronouns as well. If you have bylines/clips from other publications, include them in your email to submissions.

Pitches which are incomplete or lacking in detail may not receive a response and due to our current operating capacity, please give us one to two weeks for a response to your pitch — if it is time-sensitive, we’ll respond sooner.
